ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark May 7, 2008 Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with spicy and light yeasty citric notes. Fruity and spicy flavor with a floral note. Fruity sweet finish with a hoppy bitter note. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA May 7, 2008 The beer pours a hazy golden color with a light, lively fluffy head that doesn’t last long. The nose is full of sweet citrus mostly a orange flavor. The beer has a very dry mouth feel that is unexpectedly hoppy. The taste is a mix of yeast and sweet citrus. The beer has nice lasting bitter finish. This is a great example of a Belgium beer done the right way outside of Belgium. elcaballo (101), Beverly Hills, California, USA May 4, 2008 Some real funk here in the aroma with a distinct smell of marijuana. This beer is fine but the flavor is not that memorable. Had this a couple of times and dont think ill be coming back lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA May 3, 2008 ABV: 7.7%

Impression: A nice creamy yellow color, ends hazy in the pour due to style, bottle conditioning and large particles. A nice white head with good lace. Seems just a bit chemical or metallic in flavor. Usual fruity notes are missing from this Belgian style. Awash in oceanic carbonation. Reminds of champagne, but without the hit of alcohol. Flavor isn’t very forthcoming, but spiciness is there. Not a bad beer by any means, but it is mostly about texture, which is uncommon. I didn’t enjoy this very much.

Overall: 14 out of 20 carruthm (1109), Seattle, Washington, USA May 3, 2008 pale golden color. orange and coriander taste very similar to the hoegaarden type of beers. very smooth, but the dominance of fruits and spices would keep me from having more than one . zeke626 (301), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA May 2, 2008 Draft at Stub & Herb’s. Pours a cloudy, yellow-orange body with generous white head. Aroma of malts, yeast, citrus, and a hint of hops. Medium-bodied and well-balanced. Flavors of yeast, wheat, with grapefruit, melon, and orange tones. Refreshing, crisp finish with a slight bitter citrus bite. thebeertourist (2750), Oslo, Norway May 1, 2008 Bottle at Bishops Arms, Stockholm. Pours hazy light golden, almost yellowish, with a big rocky head. Hoppy nose with some cheese and strangely conceiled fruit.Tastes decidedly fruity and bitter. Well-carbonated and very refreshing. the6thnitemare (15), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 1, 2008 I am a huge fan of the Ommegang Brewery, and while this one isn’t bad it isn’t as good as I had hoped it would be. Pours a decent gold with a white head. The first sip is quite pleasant but not as amazing as other brews. I enjoyed this beer and will try it again in the future.
